One day while putting one of my twins girls shoes on, I asked, "Which foot is this?".
And she replied, "I don't no mommy".
And I, holding her foot and tieing the laces, said, "This is your right foot".
Then I commenced to putting the other shoe on and asked, "So which foot is this?"
She looked into my eyes with a broad smile on her face, because she knew this answer or so she thought, she said proudly, "My wrong foot!"
Of course I couldn't help but smile and tried to refrain from laughing , after all the times of me saying no that is the wrong foot when she struggled to put her shoes on the wrong feet. And perhaps what I did next might of not been the right thing to do, but she just seemed so happy that she thought she knew the answer, I said excitedly, "Yep you got it right, I'm so proud of you!" So for a long time my twin girls had a right foot and a wrong foot.
So what does hickchic think...I think that I might of made a mistake because they never have been able to grasp the concept of right and left and now that they are teens, it really comes back to bite me when they are driving the car! So parents out there, if your toodler says something really cute and you are like, "awwwww" tell them, nope your wrong and give them the right answer. But then I could always tell the girls, turn right up here, or turn wrong at the next light!

LOL Good lesson tolearn. I to this very day raise myleft and right hand to figure out which is which! Sassy
ReplyDeletehahahahaha!!! i REMEMBER THAT!!
ReplyDelete=]
i still dont have a clue which one is left.
I am also left and right disabled, I know my directions though in the dark most of the time, north, south, etc. Anyway I think about writing to get the left and right thing down too, I was left handed though till they changed me and I think it screwed EVERYTHING up!! LOL
ReplyDeletethx TC for your comment...I to think I was left handed but that it bothered my dad that I was and perhaps my teachers. And I think this cuz when I started batting, I wanted to bat left handed and again my dad wouldn't let me bat that way. I seem to do a lot of things left handed and can even write with either although with the left hand not quite as legible. I think it would be interesting to figure out why some ppl just can't get the left and right thing down, wearing a watch is what helped me finally get it down.
ReplyDeleteSo touching. It's nice to have these memories written down to reflect on years from now. I like your material. Will follow.
